JACKSON, Miss., July 19, 2017 –Merit Health has introduced a new service that helps patients more seamlessly access their physicians via online scheduling. At launch, the service facilitates online appointment-making with participating primary care providers.

To use this free service, patients visit MyMeritDoctor.com. Patients can then see doctors’ schedules in real time, along with qualifications, verified patient reviews, photos and additional tools for selecting providers who best fit their needs. Patients can then choose an open timeslot and schedule their own appointment with a few clicks. This enhances the patient experience by helping patients book with Merit Health Medical Group doctors 24/7 (even when the office is closed), as well as providing email and text reminders about upcoming appointments.

“Merit Health is proud to unite modern patients and doctors with this cutting-edge technology, and to deliver the great healthcare experience patients expect and deserve,” Merit Health CEO Steve Dobbs said. “We look forward to introducing additional physicians and specialties in the coming months.”
